When you see a girl
with a giant smile
laughing
don't just assume
that she is really happy
because
all too often
the ones who seem the happiest
really
are the ones
who are slowly falling apart
the ones
who silently scream for you
to ask them if
they are really okay
but more often than not
people
don't want
to know that you're breaking
so you stay strong
alone
it hurts like hell
so next time you see a
"happy girl"
listen
for her silent screams
